2025: The Year in Trench
2025 really was a clusterfuck clown car of a dumpster fire of a year, wasn’t it? And 2026 isn’t exactly starting out much better. So let’s take a moment to celebrate the small slices of life we did manage to enjoy. TV: My TV watching dropped off hard this year. The only full season of…

Pity the Piledriver
I’ve been a pro wrestling fan for over 40 years, but I’m not some crotchety old-timer who complains about how much better things were before the internet. I feel like I understand the evolution of pro wrestling. Sometimes the finishing moves of yesterday become the transitional moves of today. For example, 40 years ago, only…

2024: The Year in Trench
Yeah. That picture kind of sums up the whole year, doesn’t it? TV: It’s all animated again this year. Suicide Squad Isekai was pretty good for an anime. I know a lot of people complained about how the Joker looked, but it’s an anime. That was exactly how an anime Joker would look. The second…

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted about the passing of a wrestler. Off the top of my head, I think it was either Curt Hennig or Eddie Guererro. That’s how long it’s been. Over the Christmas weekend, 41-year-old Jon Huber passed away from a non-COVID-related lung issue. Huber wrestled in the WWE as…

It’s time to stop the blood in pro wrestling
Wow, it’s been years since I did a pro wrestling post but I saw something the other night that made me think about something. So I was watching Impact Wrestling this past Thursday night and they had a cage match. One of the wrestlers, Kurt Angle, ended up bleeding. Yes, I know that wrestling is…

Iran has a problem with ‘The Wrestler’
Iran angered over films ‘The Wrestler’ and ‘300’: The ever tolerant country of Iran seems to have a problem with the critically acclaimed movie ‘The Wrestler’ starring Mickey Rourke. Iranians also criticized “The Wrestler” starring Mickey Rourke as a rundown professional wrestler who is preparing for a rematch with his old nemesis, “The Ayatollah.” During…

‘Super Mojado’: a Good-Guy Wrestler for Undocumented Workers
Link I may not agree with the promotion’s politics but you got to admit a tiny independent California wrestling promotion just made national news and will make big coin (for them) off of this. Plus they’re abiding by one of wrestling’s top rules, play to your audience.
